Parallel Memory

358 Devil's Full-Scale Invasion!

Dark Guild couldn't comprehend what was happening to them at all as their hideout was simultaneously attacked.

Many of them tried to escape, only to be tracked down and killed. They couldn't escape and only hid, which was the reason that they were safe as long as they couldn't be found out. However, with their hideout exposed, they had nothing that could save them from The Authority and Explorers from different guilds.

Even their Headquarter was being raided by an army of Rank-A and Rank-S. As they had gotten the information that the place was a headquarters, they were more than prepared.

However, there was nothing for them to worry about. Most of their strong fighters were gone and only a couple of people were left behind.

It was easier to destroy their headquarters than other hideouts where Rank-S executives were present. However, they didn't find the head of the Dark Guild. He seemed to have already abandoned the place and ran away.

Nevertheless, even if Dark Guild's boss has escaped, they know that Dark Guild is no longer the threat that it used to be. Most of their executives had either been killed or captured.

The ones who survived could only be considered at the level of a gold-graded guild excluding their boss. They could no longer create the trouble that they used to.

They had almost eliminated all Dark Guild members, however, they didn't spend much time hunting down the survivors. They could have possibly annihilated every last one of them if they tried, however, they had another much more important crisis that they needed to handle at the moment.

After having destroyed much of the Dark Guild's force, they were all called back by The Authority. The Dark Guild was no longer a threat that needed attention.

Now, their focus was once more shifted to the war with the Devil. Not only that, but the real reason why The Authority immediately called them after they were done with their mission is because a large-scale attack from the Devil was coming.

Several reconnaissance teams had been stationed on various parts of the battlefield and near possible Devil attacks, and they had spotted a large number of Devils heading their way.

The Devils were getting serious and were planning to launch big-scale attacks on humans. In the report, it was also stated that Rank-S devils were also seen. Which shows that the Devils were coming at them with their full force.

It seems that the situation has taken a serious turn. The Authority and their army must act quickly and effectively to prepare for the impending attack from the Devil. They must gather their forces and resources, and plan their defense strategy carefully.

This is why The Authority immediately called all the people that were sent to destroy the Dark Guild.

The Authority had also had to search for the reason for such a big change. They know that the Devils did this for a reason, but they could not figure out why.

However, the Authority believed that it might be connected to the problem that they had with Dark Guild. The Authority and many others believe that Devils had heard about their problem with Dark Guild and wanted to take full advantage of that situation.

Fortunately, the problem with Dark Guild was solved easily and they could call back their forces who were sent to subdue Dark Guild. They thought that the Devil's plan had failed and they were ready to respond to their attacks.

They even though they might retreat knowing they had already taken care of the Dark Guild.

It turned out that Devils had already begun their attack, contrary to what they thought. And the attack pattern was different from what they had previously predicted.

There were a large number of Devils gathered along the border between the two species, and a large number of armies of Devils were present. However, Devils only pushed in from one direction and others were just slowly moving forward without any serious attack.

The humans that were defending the border didn't have any problem handling them as they were prepared and the number of attacks from devils was quite low compared to their expectations.

However, the situation in one part of the human defense was completely different from the other parts. There, Devils had attacked in numbers beyond their expectations, and the guards that were assigned there were mercilessly killed.

The Devils began their attack, and those defenders were caught off guard and were forced to scramble to react. The suddenness and scale of the attack left them struggling to mount a coordinated defense, and many were caught in the open and quickly overwhelmed by the Devil's force.

The Devils were relentless in their assault, showing no mercy or hesitation as they pressed forward with wave after wave of attacks. The guards stationed there fought back valiantly but were quickly pushed back by the sheer numbers and ferocity of their attackers.

The Authority was also taken by surprise. The part where the Devils attacked was of little importance. Even if the Devil managed to break through, they would have no real advantage in the war.

The Devils will only lose their number with the reckless attack they were doing. The Authority was discussing the countermeasure against the devils who had managed to break through their defense.

However, it was not really something that made them think that they failed. Instead, they thought Devils were dumb and attacked randomly without thinking about the consequences.

What left them thinking was the aim of the Devil's force. They don't want to think that they are sacrificing such a large number of devils just so that they could capture one meaningless fort. If that was real, then the Devil would be dumb.

However, they had to think like that looking at how those Devil forces were advancing from that geographical area where humans would be at the advantage.

The places the Devil was heading towards were where mountains and forests were. In such places, humans were at an advantage. If Elves were involved, they would have more advantages than humans.

Anyway, humans are used to such areas and their traps and weapons are also more effective in such terrains. On the other hand, Devil's domains seldom have trees and mountains and they are not used to fighting in such terrain.

Devils were more proficient at fighting in rocky areas or caves.

That's why The Authority was surprised when Devils were advancing more in such terrain. They would only be at a disadvantage if they fought with humans in those places.

They were recklessly pushed from one side without any purpose, at least that is what the people from The Authority thought. If they kept on like this, they would only be destroyed by human reinforcement that would be waiting for them on their path.

The Authority was unable to figure out why the Devil was being reckless at this stage of the war. However, no matter what, they thought that it was their chance to give a big blow to the Devil's forces.

A coalition of defense teams was called in by the Authority and gathered at where the Devils were heading in. They had already laid various traps and ambushes. They were adamant about leaving no devil alive in that place.

Many people thought that the devil would suffer serious damage because of their dumb decision.

However, they would soon come to know how they had failed to notice the Devil's plan which would change the course of the war.

The idiots were not the Devil but those who couldn't see through the Devil's plan.

At least that was what was going to happen but there was no way that Zero could let that tragedy come to pass.

******

-WHOOSH!

Zero was moving in the direction in which the Devil was advancing. While The Authority and many others thought of using large reinforcements to surround them and kill them off, Zero knew that in the process of that, humanity would lose one of its best fighting forces against the Devil.

Saintess!

The same saintess that healed Zero when he was dying.

Saintess might be some kind of goddess to humans but they are like demons to those devils. Seriously! While humans do get healed by her holy power, it had the opposite effect on the Devils. They would lose power and die when the Saintess used her power on them.

That's why Saintess is one of the main forces when fighting Devils. Having Saintess was more effective than having Rank-SS when fighting Devils.

She was like poison to those Devil. At every place where the Saintess is present, Devils would drop dead like flies. Therefore, it was necessary that before attacking humans, Devils had to kill the Saintess first or at least keep her away from the battlefield.

That's the reason that Saintess is targeted every time by the Devils. Even though The Authority and others couldn't see through their plans yet, however, Zero knew because of the novel.

And he can't have Saintess Amelia die yet! He still owes her.
